£10 at £1.20 gives you 8.3 litres
8.3 l = 1.8 gallons
60 miles using 1.8 gallons gives you 33.3mpg which is quite good, yes.
Misfire probably won't be related to the induction kit but it's generally accepted that heat soak is an issue on those engines and a performance panel in the standard airbox is a better mod.

that means your doing even better mpg.
and get a standard airbox and get a performance panel filter for it will be far better.

£1.29 gives you 7.75 litres, 1.7 gallons.
60 miles / 1.7 gallons = 35.2mpg.

Misfire could be the coil pack breaking down.

Leave the induction kit on, and don't rag it all the time.

put the airbox back on and drill the bottom, sounds much louder that way if you like induction noise

If you already have an induction kit id have thought it wouldnt use any more fuel than it does now, probably use less
